Brendan Rodgers takes his Liverpool side to face Indonesian XI on the weekend as part of their Asia tour and the club announced the midfielder will captain the team on his return.

"Steven Gerrard will make his return from injury by starting the game against an Indonesian XI on Saturday," a statement read.

"His recovery has gone well and he will be back in a Liverpool shirt with the captain's armband at the Gelora Bung Karno National Stadium."

Gerrard, who has recently signed a new contract after amassing 629 appearances for the club, will now have the chance to feature in three games before his testimonial match against Olympiakos on August 3.
